Apparently the FAs don't like elite heavy. They think the VIPs are too demanding.
Match UA compensation? I highly doubt that's possible when one is based in US and the other is in Taiwan with different price index. They are probably trying to match that $5 per diem off of EVA that CAL gave. The new management may be conservative, but they are definitely far from knowing nothing about the industry (that's CAL when Ho came up, which he gave in 1.5 years ago and gave the union the thought of they can demand anything anytime, though he cut back later after the strike is over).
I am still unsure about what's nasty? More like extremely disappointed?
I guess...but they generally have never released statements calling FAs noisy and saying they are not negotiating rationally.
No way the govt lets them bully BR. That would send the wrong message to private companies in Taiwan.
Actually, the flight attendants were complaining that the govt came and shut down the road lights for just one block of the road, that one block happened to be the one they were occupying. Evergreen Marine also shut everything off and it became pretty dark at night. They weren't very happy with the govt for that.
You can see the lights on and off in the pic below:
